I was enjoying the company of friends for an evening of sewing at the store. For me hearing in a crowded room can be a bit tricky since I don't have good hearing in my right ear and the left isn't so swift either. So, I am focusing on what C is saying...trying to read her lips too....not watching my fingers...while cutting my 2 1/2" strips. Somehow my left index finger decided to sit just a little too far to the edge of the cutting template! Ouch...how did that happen! At first I thought my rotary cutter jumped the 1/4" template and got me! After grabbing a thick paper towel and trying to stop the flow I walked calmly over to the template and cutter to discover my small bit of severed me to the right of the template and cutter at which I quietly picked up and threw away...a bit gross...aaaagg! I did not want anyone to know what I did, much less find it!!!
C stops talking and looks up and she could see something was wrong with me and my finger. C asked what I just threw away? Ummm, a little bit of my finger.. I said. C says that was too bad because we could have super glued it back on! Not with this blood flow I am thinking... what if I put that small bit of me on up side down or backwards or something...what would that have looked like when it healed??? It is moments
like that I realize I have a little vanity to deal with...and I don't even have pretty hands. My hands are my Dad's and Mom's worst hand features all mixed into my...skinny boney fingers!
Anyway, this is how I became aware of how much time I spend tapping on a key board of some sort and how tiny the buttons are on my cell phone. Sewing has been difficult too but I knew how much time I spent doing that....lol
